35. How to Reclaim Christ-Centered Agency Over Your Body with Tracy Brown, RD, LD/N
In this episode of The Old School Food Freedom Podcast, host Chrissy Kirkman is joined by Tracy Brown, RD, LD/N to explore a recent and deeply personal experience Chrissy faced. Chrissy's story underscores the reality that regardless of our progress on the journey towards freedom from food and body image struggles, we all encounter challenges that test our boundaries and growth, even with the right tools at hand. None of us are exempt from these trials, but we don't have to give in to the deception and discouragement they bring.
Grounded in Christ-centered reflection and restoration, we can replace fear, shame, and even rage with the liberating truth of God's grace. Tracy's insights throughout the conversation offer valuable guidance for navigating such difficult moments, advocating for reclaiming "Christ-centered agency over our bodies," embracing and expressing emotions in healthy ways, and ultimately moving closer to healing and true freedom.
